Had some hands-on time with this phone at a store. What an impressive piece of hardware. Software shortcomings though, even small ones, are hard to overlook once you get used to the matured folding phone interface on the Samsung Z Fold. The multi-tasking drawbacks alone, from lacking ability to drop apps in from a task bar, to not having different split screen orientations, are enough to be deal breakers. If the software mirrored that of the Z Fold, I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. Imagine what the next iteration will be like.
I would sell that Z Fold 5 immediately as it has such an narrow screen design like it's a shame to have it so narrow.. compare to Magic V2 full sized screen abit wider and alot wider when unfolded.
Looks pretty nice for sure, I will probably never but a foldable phone but I love the idea. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the Oneplus foldable coming out soon, hopefully powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Thanks again for a very informative and excellent review, you re definitely my favorite reviewer!
How do you know the 8gen3 will be good, they already know the 8gen 2 is very good, what more do you want a processor to do at this point, they are Even over clocking the 8gen2 in the new redmagic 8s pro...?
@@RJ_Uploadshonestly satcom functionality; that’s why these companies are trying to beef up their chips and improve battery efficiency. The new SD8Gen2 is satcom capable. Satcom will shred just about every nearly current phone since it’s so demanding.
@@RJ_Uploads I don't know the Gen 3 will be in the new Oneplus Open Tablet but... I understand the Gen 2 is a great chip.. It's technology man.. It's inevitable they will continue to keep advancing haha and if TSMC continues making the Snapdragon and makes the Gen at 3nm it will outperform the Gen 2 obviously haha. When it comes to technology advancements will always be needed in the future.
Chinese foldable hardware designs are definitely impressive..I had my hands on the Xiamoi Mix fold3 for about 2wks and it was incredible..it was a bit top heavy because of the Quad cams, which made it feel unbalanced in your hands.. and its peak brightness is 2600nits but I really didn't feel it was brighter then my z fold4 or z fold5.. With that being said hardware design doesn't matter if your cellular company does support it like Verizon and if the software UI doesn't do what Samsungs UI does when it comes to multitasking and apps optimization.. Unfortunately I sent back the Xiamoi Mix fold3 for those reasons..so the Samsung z fold4 and z fold5 are my main phones once again..
How long have you had fold 4? Have you had any issues, I've had 2 and they've both ended the same way with the big screen going, screen went bubbly then the pixels down the middle
@@Another_opinion_ first went after less than a week, this one went I think literally a year after purchase. But Samsung are shocking, DON'T BUY SAMSUNG!!!
i had to send back my mi mix fold 3, guys if you are in europe, that phone is missing band 20, you will run into slow connection indoors, only edge connection, other than that, its a perfect phone
Great review, obviously the camera is not the strongest bit of this one. But build and design are really good, and so is battery. How global will it go is still a question
Really helpful review, especially on the drawbacks on software side. I don't understand, why these chinese firms don't just COPY what Samsung have.. hardware is what it is, it can't be changed. But software, is malleable. Like a shutter button on the view finder when using the main camera as a selfie, I mean how obvious is such a feature?? Same with the lack of horizontal split screen when it's obvious ppl will want to be watching some video (like streaming a football match) while Whatsapping the group chat or browsing the internet. Makes u think, if there's no common sense there, there won't be on other aspects on the software side. On hardware alone, this phone is a masterpiece, and if they don't make such big (and easily fixable) fumbles on the software side.. then it totally kills the Z Fold and Pixel Fold.
@@Jonathan-jp4zz From what I’ve read, it looks like they’re looking to release it in America during the first quarter of 2024. At that rate, I may simply wait until summer anyway and see what Galaxy Fold 6 may look like. Hoping they dissected the Honor Magic V2 and make theirs just as thin with a wider front screen. If they do, I’ll go with Samsung then simply for the security and future updates.
Thank you for the awesome review! Would you recommend importing this phone or wait for the global release? Did you manage to connect to major UK networks such as Vodafone, O2 etc? I hear that Chinese phones can have issues with signals 5G/4G and push notifications.
You forgot to mention release will be 2024.......and that if you buy now, it does not have the global rom, but chinese. I dont understand why Honor ships out these units, when they know its not been released for another 5/6 months. I like the phone though😊
Hipe you had a blast at All In! Was sorely tempted to wait for one of these. But foldy phones scare me - feel like they will always eventually break. Scooped up a Xiaomi 13 Ultra instead
Thank you for been honest in your review. Love your video. Most video on youtube only talk about the slimmest foldable phone. and bla bla bla. How can i get an expensive flagship phone without wireless charging and no ips rating. That is so ridiculous. Flagship phone should be more than been the slimmest. Samsung fold is still way ahead.. and will always be my number one choice. Thanks
I got the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. Curious what you think about that device. I was really hesitating on the Honor and Xiaomi since both of them look amazing. Although I really hope there will be a good launcher in the app store for folding phones in the future. Samsung clearly has better software but I hate the outdated design and the narrow screen. Price is way too expensive as well. Samsung is really not showing any innovation because these Chinese brands are not competing. Even the Honor won't come out globally for at least 6 months.
I had to return my mix mix 3, i loved it tho, but the missing band 20 is a issue in the Netherlands sometimes , i cannot get good connection indoors, once your indoors you lose 5g and goes into Edge, painfully slow
Finally a worthy foldable...samsungs and Google's r uselss...y its diff to understand tat we need a wide screen outside just like a regular phone and then use the inner screen as a bonus...will wait for one plus open and see how it goes
I've been looking at fold phones for the past years and I haven't been 100% convinced into purchasing one. But the Honor Magic V2 looks like a it fixes all the issues I had with previous fold phones. I hope they release it in America.
What experiences have you had? I'm on my 2nd fold 4 and it's broken the same way as my first and now Samsung want to charge me £690 for the pleasure of a new screen!
Surely the selfie cam has CHEESE or WHISKEY voice activation option? My LG G from 2013 had this and it worked flawlessly and my current Samsung Note 10+ has this too.
Great phone, awful marketing team. Just ordered the fold5 because Honor thinks launching it in Europe sometime in the 1st Q of 2024 is an idea less than idiotic, and people will wait for this phone like for the next coming of Messiah. I could've get past the slow updates, the no water resistance, no wireless charging and so on, but such a slow launch to market is unacceptable. A shame.
Being in the US, I could not locate this device. I had a holiday in Costa Rica and went into a cell provider for a local sim card. Low and behold there the V2 was. I jumped on it so I could handle it. It was powered up. What an incredible foldable. I have a zfold Samsung now. If I can obtain the V2 in the US I will leave Samsung. V2 is light, fast, very comfortable to hold. Cheaper then the zfold also. Cost in CR is $1750USD. 5-31-2024
It's called the Magic V2 because it's the follow up to the Magic V, which was never released outside of China. The Magic Vs was the first one released outside of China, but it's just a minor upgrade to the V, like Apple used to do with their "S" options...
It looks amazing, I just think I would really miss wireless charging. And the inner display is a bit too square for me... anything widescreen (even 'only' 16:9) will be really heavily letterboxed.
Very well thought review, I am just waiting for Mid Fold 3 review by you, if it's camera and software are marginal better than Magic 2, I'm going for Mix Fold 3.
Very Impressive and ideal hardware of the Honor Magic V2, but the Samsung foldable software experience is a big factor, 5 generations worth. It's nice to see more foldables in the market, there's one very every taste and soon to be much more affordable.
Hardware wise, this foldable is by far the Best. I'm an owner of the Galaxy Fold 3 & 4. And if Samsung were not LAZY, this is the specs they should have had in their Galaxy Fold 5. I moved to the Iphone 5 Pro max because I cannot "give acces" to a Chinese firm my Private Data. Respect to Honor for this piece of Art.
I find it highly missleafing that all these youtubers where handed a global rom version of the device to rave about that currently does not exist and cannot be bought until q1 2024, google play apps and android auto aren't available on chinese versions of the honor v2 just puting this out there
great comparison! I got fold 5 and was considering V2 before fold 6 are out. my main reason for getting foldable is multi task and seems like chinese brands still can't do multi task that well yet, will wait for they future better version/software for foldable
Found this channel randomly, thanks to anime wallpapers you got my attention :D and you reviews are really funny and straight to point as well Hitting SUBSCRIBE button
When do u guys think we will get an actually affordable foldables or "rollable" phones? At this point, price is my biggest concern, followed by durability with this kind of devices.
if thats the case, you need to step up your financial then. If the product is expensive, then you're not their target consumer,,,,untill your pocket can finally affrod to buy them. Just my 2 cent
@@farishakim6759I just find it unfortunate that many people cannot get into foldable phones because of the price alone. We shouldn't gatekeep such things behind high prices, but I do get the fact that new tech = expensive to produce. Unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it except waiting for the time being.
Lol @aqua_Laura ... I somehow doubt that. I'm guessing you're eyeing the top 3 benefits of this Honor Magic V2: Larger (6.4") outter screen + larger inner screen, thinness and slightly cheaper pricing. Yet I think that is blinding you of its bigger shortcomings (potentially). Our host has some strickingly big hands - mine are about half as big - he's holing a 7.8" screen in his grasp without straining! Are your hands as big? Software: Did you actually watch the whole video? - software is junk and not stable as shon: lake of windowing options, slow UI animations, 'a copule of years' software support (Brits typically refere to a copule = 2). Manufacturer's warranty and supported regions. This may not affect you but could mostly for others.
Im going for the fold 5 most likely… but samsungs battery life is so notoriously bad. It’s okay at the start and then after 1 year you already need to charge it twice a day.
If you use the inner screen without properly, u fingernails will make a scratches at inner screen and it won't dissappear like another inner fold brand. That's scared me. No one reviewer at youtube mention it.
I was going to buy Honor Magic v2 on Aliexpress but when I went to see what system was included I felt like throwing up, doesn't come Google Play store, the camera didn't care even though it wasn't very good but without Google Play store is like going from Android to Apple. I'm very disappointed, such a good phone and it doesn't come with Google Play Store
Wow this makes any foldable phones obsolete haha I like how every thing is completely fluent no skinny sorry Samsung but honor magic v2 has my win where! Hefty price tag but I'll definitely consider upgrading to this maybe 3-4 months from now
They're like: We're not gonna be able to sell these things so much so let's rip off the people buying them as much as we can! Fold z5 £1849! Really?! I can buy a decent runaround car for that. Why are the flagship prices keep going up and up, it beats me.. They really take the piss. I've bought my S21 ultra for 999, now S23 ultra 1349! What's so glamorously improved and makes my life so incredible so they can justify charging 350 more? Sod all!
Hey, i'm confused about horizonal split screening. You said it can't be done, but on SuperSaf's video at roughly 4m59s, you can see he's horizontally split 2 copies of a game? Any idea how he's done that if horizontal split screening can't be done? Cheers
can you test the gamepass app? it is the future for mobile gaming. and i would also know if there is a virtual gamepad on second screen like the lg v60 do 😎🤘🏻
At the Honor magic v2 homepage, they mentioned a feature called security guard. Do you have an idea what this is about? Is it like the Samsung Knox? Thanks!
I'd love to know what you reviewers do in a day with other fold style phones. My pixel fold comes off the charger at 4am when I get up for work, and goes back on at 10pm. Some days I'll get 6-7 hours screen on time and still have 30% battery left. Strangely, you lot can't seem to do that!

Wow this makes any foldable phones obsolete haha I like how every thing is completely fluent no skinny sorry Samsung but honor magic v2 has my win where! Hefty price tag but I'll definitely consider upgrading to this maybe 3-4 months from now
12:26 what you doing in The Old Nun's Head!!!
They're like: We're not gonna be able to sell these things so much so let's rip off the people buying them as much as we can! Fold z5 £1849! Really?! I can buy a decent runaround car for that. Why are the flagship prices keep going up and up, it beats me.. They really take the piss. I've bought my S21 ultra for 999, now S23 ultra 1349! What's so glamorously improved and makes my life so incredible so they can justify charging 350 more? Sod all!
Why you paying full prices😂😂😂
This is d best foldable phone ever seen
Looks class! What’s your favourite phone at the moment?
Hey, i'm confused about horizonal split screening. You said it can't be done, but on SuperSaf's video at roughly 4m59s, you can see he's horizontally split 2 copies of a game? Any idea how he's done that if horizontal split screening can't be done? Cheers
Je ne sais pas?
Horizontal split screen only works with specific chinese apps, sadly
:(
Hi! Just notice your opening mentioned V2 as Vs2. It turns out Honor just released a lower spec version named Vs2. Are you gonna review the one too?
can you test the gamepass app? it is the future for mobile gaming. and i would also know if there is a virtual gamepad on second screen like the lg v60 do 😎🤘🏻
I want one of these so bad... smh... I'm convinced to grab one now.
Too bad that this 2023 phone will be release in 2024. For Europe at least.
The hardware is amazing, but software totally sucks balls in comparison with Samsung
At the Honor magic v2 homepage, they mentioned a feature called security guard. Do you have an idea what this is about? Is it like the Samsung Knox? Thanks!
No update on release date in the Uk or price?
Strange how honor have been giving these to tech reviewers in the uk
I'd love to know what you reviewers do in a day with other fold style phones.
My pixel fold comes off the charger at 4am when I get up for work, and goes back on at 10pm. Some days I'll get 6-7 hours screen on time and still have 30% battery left.
Strangely, you lot can't seem to do that!
If it really releases in Q1 2024 its going to get only fraction of the sales it would get today.
Where d'you get these lovely anime backgrounds, I've literally searched everywhere but they ain't as good
hey can you just tell the official Gms setup are already there by stock or have to do some other stuff for that??
